Signs and Wonders

Pharmacy of the Golden Elephant? .. without the pictures this would make me think of "The Blue Lotus" by Hergé :o)
But it is actually a Pharmacy in Krakow, Poland.


I love to spot signs and wonders like this one. Fine letters and interesting elephant. Little bit strange proportions, but definitely cute.

Birds flock







Look at this pattern! Isn't it cool?
I really love this! I had to go back and get a scarf a few days after I bought the shirt. The grey-blue version is my favourite.
Saint Tropez made it.


Someone thinks this pattern is completely overrated. It's time for the morning walk.. could we please get moving?

Four days of fog and a funny hat




Change of weather - four days of fog - grey, grey.. very special quiet atmosphere - like nature's waiting for something.. well probably for the snow to melt away, and so it has - almost.




I saw a colourful hat here and here and then I bought the pattern and had a lot of fun knitting during some of these dark evenings.

Yesterdays new snowfall








It's cold and pretty.
Snow on wood - old pear tree.
Snow on wood - neighbours swedish-red garage.
The fourlegged listening to friends barking from afar.
Leo - friend of fourlegged - maybe feeling a little cold?

Four Foxes




First fine silver and cobber fox-pins from Becky Crow, next an iron fox from somewhere around High Wycombe in England, and last our new brass door knocker from Antropologie.

I really like this door knocker - and it doesn't need batteries. You can find many other animal door knockers out there.

Invitations



The invitations for the birthday party was made by me. It was a fun job.

Winters delight - the rosy-fingered dawn


.. fantastic expression by Homér.
One of the only things I remember from Latin-class in school, well there is also "Caput deponit", but that's another story :O)
